A letter to Pennsylvania (or how to become a superdelegate)

By Lessig

I grew up in Pennsylvania, and went to university at Penn (as did just about everyone on my Dad's side of the family). I spent a couple days near where I grew up about three weeks ago, speaking at Penn State and Bucknell, and then travelled to Philadelphia to speak at an Obama event at Penn. It is surprising how home never quite leaves you, no matter how far away you may be. And so as I saw PA leading up to a primary, I thought about writing a letter. Pennsylvania was the last place where I dreamed about life as Superman (at the age of 7); here's 9 minutes asking PA Democrats to become super-delegates. (There's a version at YouTube, but the quality is astonishingly poor. I don't get the reason for the difference -- it is the same file uploaded in both places. But the sync is way off.)
